Hug your knees in place and lock your fingers. Gently start rocking, forward and backward. As you gain momentum, start rolling to either side. This asana is extremely effective on the abdominal muscle.

2) Bhujangasana: In this asana, you have to remain yourself (stomach side) towards the floor. Then, position your hand under your shoulders. Now, using your back muscles, raise your upper torso off the ground to that your head is upright. Here be careful that not to push with your hands. You want the muscles in your back to be doing the work. Hold this posture for thirty seconds, and then lower yourself back to start. Even though you are using your back muscles to lift your upper body, performing the asana will assist in reducing belly fat and flattening your tummy.

3) Naukasana: In a straight line, start by lying on your back with your feet together and your arms stretched out above your head. Now exhale. Lift your arms and legs simultaneously. Tighten the stomach muscles and hold this posture for a few seconds. Now inhale and relax. Exhale deeply through the mouth and repeat.
